Whether or not nail biting is a sign of underlying psychiatric disorders is the subject of controversy. We report here a case of nail biting that was unusual in its pattern and severity, and occurred in a patient with previously diagnosed psychiatric disease. The literature regarding psychiatric disease associated with self-inflicted nail disease is reviewed.
